Got a good jump, just not good enough 😁
I just hope for good racing.
Entry is a mess…. No separate entry for fan fest and GA. It’s ugly.

so its packed and a long waiting line u say?
lets fucking goooooo
Kick the tires and light the fires!
The day has finally come. Bittersweet, gents.
Yes, we just want to get to the hillside…. Have to wait in the same line as the 10’s of thousands trying to say bye to Tomac.
mate dont get too frustrated bout that, Im jealous I cant be there. Gonna be epic!
I feel like Prado is going home with the W tonight.
I wish we had 17 rounds of tracks like this every year for regular SX.
Yeah, we’re good. Just know it could have been handled better.
We’ve been in line for about 45 minutes and still a ways from getting tickets scanned.
With whoops
Man, all the good kits are out for the finale
Diggin jujus one industries
Looks clean in the KTM
Once we got close to the entry, the line picked up speed…
Sprinted to a spot without too many chairs 🪑 n front of us.
Here’s the view.
Track is so sick!
Pit Row
So you have buy a chair, cant take your own?
What a great spot to be!
Track is awesome!!!
For all the consternation about the facility and track, I’d say they were all wrong.
I will have zero issues standing in front of someone sitting in a dumbass SMX chair.
Deeg fast lap vs Prado fast is so different to watch lol
As much hype as this track is getting, I actually don't find it that compelling.
It's all built on plywood + sand on hard rollers underneath so the track is SUPER shallow. we really won't get any true ruts or roughness vs. a track like Charlotte or Chicago SMX. The track is also super narrow so it's going to be incredibly one lined and hard to pass. IMO, Chicago/Charlotte was true SMX.
See pics from Charlotte and Chicago below (Look how wide and deep and rough they are in comparison to Ridgedale):
Chicago SMX:
Looks like the guy in front of you has already experienced a mechanical on his chair.
Looking the other direction.
I’m sorry but the two calling practice on peacock are fucking horrible!!!
Dang what a time by Prado
Jorge Prado is an incredible dirt bike rider.
